Good morning, my friends. Well...we roused the rabble yesterday. I'll tell you about that when I’m sure my balance is steady enough to climb up on my Soapbox. For now, let's talk about that fourth finish. Ta-Da! It ends up at 14-1/2 x 13 inches.

Good morning, my friends. Ordinarily, we avoid Las Vegas like the plague, but we wanted to see the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden. It's free to the public (except for parking, which was steep at $20 for the day). Erik and Mae are fans of botanical gardens, in general, and they've kind of hooked us on seeing gardens when we can. Erik tells me this one changes frequently. When he saw it last time, it was decorated to honor the Grateful Dead. (That must have been interesting.)
Okay, so we girded up our loins for a drive into Sin ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It was a gardening day yesterday. I'm happy to have things mostly wrapped up for the winter. Before I started on that, though, I spent some time stitching the next Tiny Treasure. It looks like one treasure per day will probably be my limit. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, seed stitch and fishbone stitch.

Good morning, my friends. It's dark and foggy this morning, just as it was yesterday morning. It ooks as if we're into this gray world for another couple of days. We should have planted our daffodils last week when the sun was still shining. I'll tell you this: it makes Smitty very unhappy. He'd be out hunting small mammals. Instead, he's relegated to the woodbox sheltered by the eaves.

Good morning, my friends. The promised rain has finally arrived. We're expecting rain for a good part of the week. It's just in time for my one-hour drive (both ways) to a quilt shop tomorrow. Too bad I couldn't have done it on a nicer day. Oh well. The fabric I'll see there will brighten my day.
But let's talk about yesterday, shall we? When I left you, I was heading for my slow-stitching. I was hoping I could finish it up yesterday. After stitching for an hour, I had to call it quits. Now ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. That most-hated task, grocery shopping, is finished for the week. We got off to a late start yesterday morning. It was after lunch time when we got home. We put everything away, had our lunch, and then we each took naps...pretty much required after a grocery shopping trip. Finally, I was able to get back to my sewing.
It took a while, but I finished the hand-stitching on the ninth of nine blocks for the Merry, Merry Snowmen project.

Good morning, my friends. It was another easy-going day. Today will get a little busier. We need to do our grocery shopping. We had a short list last week, which means this week's list is longer. Oh well. As a team, we can get through our shopping excursion pretty quickly. After that, I'll get back to the Merry, Merry Snowmen.
There was good progress made on yesterday's block. I expected to get the fusing finished, and I did.

Good morning, my friends. I gave myself an easy day yesterday. There were a few small tasks to take care of, and I did a Bowflex workout. Also, I pureed the watermelon given to us by our CSA farmers. I'll make some watermelon sorbet from that later today. I've made sorbet from all kinds of fruit, but watermelon is my favorite.
Since I was taking a lazy day, I didn't make it into the sewing room until late in the day. Smitty was my helper cat.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate. We find ourselves in Anchorage this morning.
